Well, I went over Friday night. She was nowhere in sight when I came in so I settled in to talk to her uncle. We talked for a little while and the next thing I know there's a flurry of arms and legs pouncing on me from the back of the couch. She wiggles around until she's in my lap and hugging me. After planting a wet kiss on my cheek, she promptly announces she's sick (I was wondering why she was in her pajamas at 6 o'clock) and proceeds to cough in my face to prove it. Then she launches into a review of all the "important" things that any girl her age would tell someone about when they haven't seen them for a while. Several hours later, I have to go but she keeps finding things that I need to do for her to keep me there. :) Later, as I'm driving out of the driveway, I look back and see her standing at the window looking so sad and dejected. :( Saturday, I went back over to get her uncle. She was feeling better but as soon as I come in she grabs my hand and takes me back to her bedroom. She wants me to watch her singing to her new N'Sync video. I should have brought my video camera. :) It was so precious. Anyway, she gets finished and her parents are about to go someplace so they tell her to get ready. She announces that she's going with me and her uncle. I look at her uncle, then at her parents, and just shrug. "I don't care." Her mom says, "Well, okay." But her dad says, "We don't know when we're going to be home and (her uncle) doesn't have a key, so they may have to spend the night over at (my) place." To defuse any further problems, I sit her down and explain to her that I wouldn't have anyplace for her to sleep. I only have my bed and the couch that her uncle sleeps on when he stays over and it isn't big enough for the two of them. She looks up at me with those sparkling eyes and says "I can sleep with you." Ya, right! Her dad coughs loudly. I'm beginning to feel the burn of embarassment. "Uh...uh...sorry, I can't sleep with someone else in the bed with me. You would just keep me awake all night. I tell you what. The next time I get a chance, you, me and (your uncle) will go do something special. Just the three of us. Okay?" She smiled and hugged me and said "that's a deal". Problem defused. You're right. She does have "warts"...but they're "warts" I can live with. :) And how was your weekend? Love |
